Packing…the basics

So I gave a list of what Peace Corps recommended we bring with us (with the outcome I thought it would yield if we all followed it) a couple of days ago. But now I really have to start thinking about those essentials that are needed for the trip. No I’m not talking about those T-shirts I can’t seem to get enough of, but the real basics – you know, like soap. So this is a rough version of those “basics”:

Bar of soap
All purpose everything soap (mint!)
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Loofah (Maybe? It does create quite a nice lather.)
Small thing of hand lotion
One nice towel (I plan to steal this out of the bathroom the night before I leave – the yellow one)
Hair…stuff (but only a minimal supply since I’m opting for the much more economical “less hair” option
A 3oz bottle of Becherovka
Another 3oz bottle of Becherovka
A backup 3oz bottle of Becherovka

That about covers it for now. Unless somebody sheds light on something crucial that I overlooked.

    I have no idea how much a 3oz bottle is, but I am pretty sure that you’ll need another bottle Becherovka (you can never have enough Becherovka ;) )…..otherwise I will bring some Becherovka and good frankonian beer… ;)
